Question 1

headache followed by a nose bleed, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis : Allergies to hay fever, sinusitis, deviated septum and high blood pressure are some of common causes of headaches and bloody noses. There are many other possible causes but less common. Saline nasal spray can help. See your medical doctor for an evaluation. You may need to see an ears nose and throat specialist too.

Question 2

its been 4 days after my heady injury and i just had a mild nose bleed. i have no headache, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Head injury: Post head injury (was it a closed head trauma?  Any loss of conscience? Any other associated injury? Any history of high blood pressure or previous nose bleeds?) with minimal nose bleed is not something to freighten you.  To be concerned and watch for any other symptom to develop; e.g.: visual, cognitive, etc. Deficits would be recommended, though.

Question 3

i had a nose bleed and a few hours later i got a bad headache why is this?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: These events may not be related, but if symptoms persist or especially if they worsen you should be evaluated.

Question 4

my wife is getting headaches, feeling weak, and has been tired a lot lately. last night she had a nose bleed, what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Most of the time, high blood pressure does not give any symptoms. Some people may feel some headache or dizziness. Some do get nose bleeds. May feel tired or just "not right". Should get checked to see what may be giving her the problem.

Question 5

nose bleed for the first time left nostril headache on the left side, little dizziness. what shall i do?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed : Put a lot of ointment in the nose that bled. Usually nose bleeds will stop when you humidify the nose. Irrigate the nose with saline 50 cc each nostril 5 times a day. Use ocean nasal spray throughout the day.   I would not worry about the dizziness. This probably occurred because you were scared about the nose bleed and hyperventilated. Good luck. Feel better!

Question 6

my 13 yr old daughter just suffered a severe 1st time nose bleed that lasted about 15  min,  she now has a  headache  (10+)  should we be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Peace of mind: Depends on what caused nosebleed.  Was it trauma or spontaneous?  Another consideration is peace of mind.  If you're going to be worried and up all night, take her to be evaluated to be sure.

Question 7

i have a terrible headache and nose bleed i can't stand the sight of light i went to a dr yesterday but still 
my neck is also painful i can't even sleep?

Accepted Answer

Concerning headache: Go to your doctor. Severe stiff neck, photophobia (light sensitivity), severe headache can all be concerning for infection, bleeding, or masses in the brain. Many infections are viral and mild (so no workup or intervention necessarily needed).  However, if you have a fever, confusion, or worsening symptoms, a lumbar puncture, CT or MRI of your brain may be indicated.  See your doctor or ER now!

Question 8

i have a bad sinus headache and nose bleed what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Headache: The sx of headache and nose bleeds probably sinus infection. I am concerned may also be high blood pressure. At the very least see  physician get antibiotics but definitely get BP check.

Question 9

7 year old daughter with heavy headaches and high fever with nose bleed?

Accepted Answer

Have her checked: She could have a viral illness but, without actual examination, it is very hard to tell.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Blurry vision: Persistent headache with blurry vision-- you may wish to see a neurologist-- even though it could be a migraine, the duration of this headache is worrisome.  Talk to you primary doctor today about your options.
